The Old is Gone The New Has Come

Updated: Sep 28, 2022

It’s time to rise and shine (no matter what time you read this)...awaken to a new day with new freedom and opportunities! As you open the door and see the beautiful sunrise, remember to thank God for all His blessings.


You are a new “you” today...especially if you are a “believer.” You have been given gifts and talents to cultivate... skills that uniquely qualify you for greatness. Have you ever wondered if God is calling you to write but didn’t know what to write about?

It’s pretty exciting, isn’t it? Knowing that you can do all things in the God who strengthens you! (ref. Philippians 4:13).

The biggest challenge is knowing what to do...which way to go. If this is you (me too, sometimes), then all you have to do is seek the Divine within you.


In Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV), He says, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Do this today and watch the seeds of your effort aligned with God’s call transform your world along with those around you. Have no fear. Have no doubt. God IS with you!

So remember, “...if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Okay, so I’m naturally curious...what are you planning to do today to bring out God’s greatness in the new you?
